Floater

About This Movie

Floater (1983) is a curious piece in the realm of animation, representing Jane Veeder's early forays into computer-generated visuals. The film plays with a dreamlike quality, thanks to the unique Datamax UV1 graphics system and the ZGrass programming language. It has this ethereal atmosphere, almost hypnotic at times, as the imagery floats and shifts in a way that feels both organic and otherworldly. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in its fluidity. There’s a certain charm in its experimental nature, and while the director remains unknown, it speaks volumes about the early days of digital art and animation. Those who appreciate the development of animation technology will likely find this an interesting watch.
